very busy with their farm work.
Wheat is growing finely and promises
a fine crop. The warm weather of
May has brought their corn up, they
say, better, perhaps, than they ever
saw before taken altogether. Every
thing looks prosperous and indicates a
good crop year.
The two singing schools at Deakyne-
vile uuder the instruction of Prof. c.
w. Andrew, having each taken a term
in the study of music, are closed.
Strange as it may seem, both of the
schools were run with the greatest har-
mOny-bOth in feeling and music. We
have heard that Prof Andrew expects
to spend his vacation at his home, near
Harrington, but, anticipates returning
to resume his work at some schools
that he has organized for the fall.
COFFEE has advanced in the last
four or five months from nine cents to
twenty-One and twenty-five cents for
the ordinary grades of Rio. The ad-
vance in MOchO and Java is equally as
great. Dealers say such an advance as
the present in prices of coffee has not
been down since 1876 and 1876, when
common Rio sold for thirty cents. 1t
is thought it will reach that price in
short time. The cause of the advance
is attributed to reports of very short
second crop, which reaches here in
July next.

REV. WIN. S. ROBINSON at the Meth
Odist church took for his text for the
third time as a subject for his Sunday
evening discourse Jesus Christ him
SELF" all seperate and distinct in treat
ment and thought, and all amplifying
the great central character in the
worlds history, the one ideal man, the
teacher whose precepts as spoken and
whose life as lived among men was to
work out the human perfection intend
ed in the creation of the race. The
divinity in the humanity of Jesus is
evidently to the preacher a grand and
inexaustible subject.
The artesian we'll at Woodland
Beach was completed last week, reach
ing vein of water at a depth of 13(
feet that rose in the tube to within
seven feet of the surface. The water il
soft and undoubtedly in suf1icien
quantity to meet all demands. w,
noted in a former issue that they boreC
through log at the depth of 60 feet
AT a depth of 112 feet the augel
brought up feathers and the we'll de
fined wing of a bird. This brings III
an interesting geological question, viz
at what stage of the worlds history
was this portion of the Peninsula
formed?
